As I posted on Facebook:
My grandpa had this great old mini car when I was little. He used to take my cousins and I for rides in it all the time when we were up north.
For the better part of 15 years its been sitting in an old shed, wasting and rotting away.
Once Sarah heard about it (then saw it) she wanted to rescue it. I wasn't too keen on the idea at first, because I'd assumed it was beyond saving.
Once we got permission from mom to get it we unburied it from the old shed and discovered it wasn't in as bad shape as I'd feared. It was rusted and the tires were shot, but somehow the engine hadn't seized up over the years!
Now the plan is to slowly fix it up and restore it to it's former glory.
After it's restored...no idea, but it's too cool (and too sentimental) to lose.
